The industry\u2019s first and only production all-electric bucket truck took the stage at the 68th Electric Utilities Fleet Managers\u2019 Conference<\/a> (EUFMC). During the critical \u2018Drive-through\u2019 portion of the event, participating manufacturers present their products to the conference attendees, driving new configurations on the latest chassis and showing off official releases of their recent <\/a>tech. Suppliers use the Drive-through as an opportunity to make a splash in the industry and hope to create and leave an impression in the minds of the fleet managers that attend the event annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year the vision of a Production Electric Bucket Truck was realized at EUFMC<\/strong> and it completely stole the show!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its release was two years earlier than the most optimistic projections. \u201cBy combining SmartPTO technology with the International electric chassis, Terex Utilities was able to bring this bucket truck solution to the electric utilities two years ahead of industry projections,\u201d said Joe Caywood, Director of Marketing for Terex Utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viatec collaborated with Terex<\/a> and Navistar<\/a> \/ International Trucks<\/a> – two of the most respected industry stalwarts to attend the event – to make this debut possible at EUFMC. Together, we are proud to announce the joint release of this evolutionary solution. This is a milestone on the road to broad availability of electric vocational vehicles across and beyond the utilities industry worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A project of this magnitude required the seamless collaboration between the three critical components of the All-Electric Bucket Truck \u2013 namely, an electric chassis, an aerial upfit, and the ePTO to power a full day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Truck\u2019s eMV Series Chassis from Navistar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Navistar International\u2019s eMV Series electric chassis<\/a> platform has been specifically designed for fleet duties with a 210kWh battery pack and 135-mile range. It is the new gold standard 33,000 GVW all electric platform for vocational vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terex Utilities 55ft Aerial Upfit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The aerial equipment on this configuration is a mounted Terex Optima 55 ft aerial<\/a>. <\/a>It is a 60 ft working height aerial commonly used for electric distribution line work. Terex has long been trusted as one of the industry’s most utilized upfitters of vocational vehicles worldwide. This upfit comes fully loaded with everything operators need for their worksite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SmartPTO for Worksite Energy Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On an <\/a>EV (Electric Vehicle) chassis, exhausting vehicle range for the sake of powering worksite equipment is not ideal. By providing all the power for worksite operation from Viatec\u2019s SmartPTO<\/a> the chassis batteries range is protected. SmartPTO, Viatec\u2019s flagship electric PTO product, is part of our series of zero-emission worksite solutions for hydraulic powered applications. It is a fully contained ePTO powered by the Zero Motorcycles\u2019 DSR powertrain. <\/a>Concisely, Viatec\u2019s electric PTO powers the work, not the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to an efficient and successful collaboration between the three market leaders, the industry’s first all-electric vocational vehicle for the utility industry (and beyond) is on the market and ready for work \u2013 today! We look forward to innovative and discerning fleets all over North America utilizing this technology, and we can only assume that future electric vocational vehicle needs will continue to emerge for a variety of worksite applications<\/a>. When they do, Viatec is here to power them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
